From the reviews
We would get married at The Tinsmith again and again if we could! It is THE perfect venue that was designed and staffed to make wedding days seamless. Not only is it absolutely stunning but the staff was incredible and worked behind the scenes the entire day: setting up, transforming spaces, controlling the projector,…
The Tinsmith was the perfect venue for our wedding! We loved the convenience of having the ceremony/reception in the same space, and appreciated the flexibility provided by the different bar options.
What a beautiful venue!! This historic building is an amazing space for a event or wedding! The green house area makes you feel like you are outside at night and the tin roof garage is so cool with the original tin roof exposed! Foood was catered by Buck &. Honeys and was really good!
As soon as we walked into the Tinsmith on our first visit, we knew this would be the venue to have our dream wedding in. There is something truly special about walking into that Solarium and seeing the lights up and having the night sky above.
Getting married at The Tinsmith
The Tinsmith comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
